Non-motor Regions Creating Motor Commands? I'm Skeptical

[Bitking]

I picked up this bit in your post …

Also related to the Thousand Brains Model, the frontal lobe seems to project back to many sensory regions of the cortex. Even if the sensory regions aren’t creating their own motor commands, something with the appearance of motor commands could perhaps emerge from the interplay between these regions. I don’t have any concrete or well-developed ideas on this yet, however.

… and wanted to help with adding some meat on the bones of your idea.

How does this fit in your thoughts?

ML and Deep Learning to automatically create AGI?

I am not sure how one might arrive at a judgment of good or bad purely from a cognitive exercise. As I see it working - Anatomy of a thought There is some drive from the hypothalamus. As discussed above, this could be any drive, big or small, originating from any one node of the hypothalamic cluster. The voting on which drive is the most important is resolved at the hypothalamic level and is presented to the cortex as the most important thing. We really don’t multitask, but we task switch rea…

Intelligence vs Consciousness

My working theory on consciousness is fairly simple considering how complex the central nervous system is. Let me set the table on how I see the brain working: Focusing on the H of HTM. (Hierarchy) Consider this in a sensory stream general framework of (raw sense) to (collected sense/association) to (name/symbol) to (collected symbols/grammar) to (working memory) to (the emotionally colored here and now) in the tip of the temporal lobe. This is the stream of sensation that you know as your pe…

What makes all this to’ing and fro’ing in the cortex relavant is much of the feedback paths are considered motor output from the forebrain, radiating back towards the sensory cortex.
